“Ponyo Ponyo, little fishy in the sea. Won’t you come and play with me oh won’t you oh please?”

fishes in the sea

Here’s a poem I wrote in 2013 :)

One fishy, two fishy, three fish more,

We caught them from the ocean we caught them from the shore,                                      

Swimming in the ocean, swimming in the sea;

They all jumped up on a one, two, three.

Some had survived, some sadly died.

Flush flush down the toilet, fishy fishy no more.

I remembered when we caught them, we caught them from the shore.

They were swimming in the ocean, swimming in the sea;

They all jumped up on a one, two, three.

Some sadly died, but some had survived;

I have:

One fishy, two fishy, three fishy more!

Why school is outdated

Many intelligent people are lost because schools choose to define intelligence through exams, feeling confident they are filtering out the most able for higher education and all the opportunities that follow. Students are duped into believing their innate abilities and potential are being tested whilst they are largely being tested on memorization. This an inauthentic and unrealistic method of learning, because we all know this information leaves us the day after taking the exam.

"Are you... alright?"

"I'm one breath away of a panic attack."

"Is that a no?"

Knowing you want to be somewhere else, but not knowing where that is frustrates me a lot. I stare at my walls every day and wonder.

Feeling everything, and the nothing

Sometimes it feels like everything inside me is about to erupt. I'm like a volcano of excitement and ambition, with eyes darting around in youthful curiosity. I want to explore, I want to achieve and I want to know. It feels strange to be living in a world I hardly know or see. It's as if I'm in a long distance relationship with life, and all I want to do is embrace it and marvel at it's beauty.  This wonder and enthusiasm soon fades into nothingness, and leaves me sunken. All the grand plans I had nudge my unconscious body as I try to sleep away the misery. I am exhausted, frustrated and lost. And so I envelope myself in the safety of my duvet, hoping that one day I will be able to burn strong and steady.

Yamato Kurosawa from ‘Sukitte Ii na yo’ is one of my characters in Anime. His sweet, gentle and understanding nature makes him so lovable.

If you genuinely enjoy being alone, do you ever wonder if it is an inherent part of your character or if it stems from feeling inescapably lonely in the first place until you taught yourself to enjoy the peace and happiness one can find in solitude? what if the reason you now prefer & choose solitude at every turn is because you were a very lonely child, or teenager, not by your own choice, and that’s how you learnt to thrive and grow, so you no longer know if you can do that around people? There might also be an element of personal pride, an unconscious “you can’t fire me I quit” point when your brain decided to switch your feelings about solitude from distress to relief. I often find myself defending my love of being alone, to people who worry that I can’t possibly be happy to live in an isolated house in the woods; I insist that I do! I really do specifically enjoy the isolated factor and chose to live here because of it, but then I wonder how to differentiate an ingrained love of solitude from an acquired ability to thrive off unchosen loneliness, to learn from it and be nourished by it; to what extent it might be a form of contentment built on a bedrock of resignation.

This is definitely something I’ve thought about :/

[alexedler]

Guys, stop it! Now I don’t want either of you getting involved. I’m intelligent and competent, and I can handle my own affairs.

Yes mam’
